Amanda Serrano's highly awaited homecoming at the Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico, against Nina Meinke, came to an anticlimactic end as the unified women's featherweight champion was forced out of the bout due to an eye injury. However, many fans are skeptical about the sudden cancellation.

Amid the unfortunate turn of events, Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions put out a statement on Instagram that 'The Real Deal' was declared unfit to fight on the card by the Puerto Rican Boxing Commission owing to the injury.

Suffice it to say the last-minute cancellation of the bout has paved the way for speculations of foul play, as it's highly unusual for medical checks for such high-profile events to be pushed until the last minute.

While both Serrano and Paul apologized to fans for the debacle, they were far from convinced. Angry fans took to X to express their doubts surrounding the now-canceled main event.
